I just want to point out...

Linden Lab's hiring procedure sucks dead rat through a straw.

Actually... most companies' do. How silly of me to think that anybody is obliged to communicate with you when they ask you for something and leave you hanging!

[points at icon] See, Shay knows how to communicate.

So... when looking for jobs, you are allowed to call them and see how things are going. You know that, right? :/

[sff-corgi.livejournal.com]

Yessss, that's the point. I was just firmly told off by an operator that no, I may NOT speak to HR, if they're interested in me a recruiter will be in touch.

Let's send our Hawkgirl to esplain it to them, preferably using her special techniques of Percussive Maintenance [tm]. Actually, Sam would probably volunteer in a heartbeat.

Seriously though... they probably get a metric buttload of job-seeking letters every day and sifting through the chaff to find the Qualified Candidates has got to be a job in itself. THEN there's the matter of whether or not they actually need someone with your particular qualifications.

So, you have sent them your letter. Whatever happens, happens. Move forward.

Mmm, yes, forward. I wonder if Panera will need me to pin up my hair.

"Here, just put on this hairn...OMG"
Hrm, free eats?

Do you have any specific name in HR, or can you google one up? That way a snotty operator has to acknowledge you [seem to] know someone in HR, rather than coldcalling.
